New YORK, April 2.-Spring, at
her every successive advent, is hon
ored by the fair sex throughout the
world by a brighter display Of head
gear than greets either of the other
three seasons, and the fancies, worn
in honor Of her are certainly by Tar
the most delicate of the year.
The present season is not an excep;
ton to the rule, and bonnets and
hats of high and low degree appear
at present the only objects which
lure the ladies to purchase, from the
cheap places on Division street to the
palaces on Broadway.
Tall hats are quite popular again.
They are principally in fine straws,
and the wide brims are twisted and
twirled in such odd and fantastic di-
rections that it would seem as ii they
had been made without aim or OBJ
iect. But they look very jaunty and
picturesque, browning youthful and
pretty faces. One shape on which
the wide rolling brim turns very
high on the front, is trimmed princl-
pally with pale heliotrope ostrich
plumes. A great knot of picot rib
bon is fastened upon the right side
by a jet brooch, and fold Of ribbon
| is run about the base of the crown
which completes the trimming
A high capote, lately from Paris
was trimmed as followE: The frame
as usual, was covered with velvet
very smoothly; on the front bow o.
plain satin ribbon, which was ar
ranged reallyin the form OF a rosette
this was surrounded by humminE
bird, poised downward; and witt
wings outstretched. The bonne'
tied beneath the chin, and a large
bow right against the cheek com
pleted the effect. This latter way o
tying bonnet, SO that the bow rest
right against ones cheek, is a yer!
effective one, provided the color o
the ribbon is in a judicious tone, 81
as to set off the complexion to tn
best possible advantage.

tionary manner, which dstracted
from several situations, will disap-
pear by practice. :
In the third act she was confronted
with a fresh disadvantage, when
obliged to fence her tenderness
against the callous villany Of Geof-
frey, her husband. This role was
taken by Willard, who is q great
character actor. He dominated this
scene. He should have been the
foil of her situations, but her points
we're overmastered by his. She
bullied him instead of using woman
" wiles. When she ought to
have pleaded earnestly and with q
pathetic voice she shouted at him.
In the last act, when "Sir Patrick
Lundie," most artistically portrayed
by Henry Kemble, announced to her
that from the letters she exhibited
she was really a wife, her surprise
appeared somewhat mechanical; in.
deed, what Maj. Pendennis would
have called "Fotheringayish," and
her Joy was expressed with feebleness
of attitude and gesture and in mono
tones. Again, her points we're over
mastered at the close OF the last act
by the fine acting of Willard when,
as the brutal husband, he succumbed
to sudden paralysis.
Mrs. Potter was recalled at the
end of every act save the first amid
the smiles of royalty and applause
from the stalls. She rather over
dressed her character. Ii English
goyernesses can wear diamond pins
and lace and the Paris dresses al
ready described in the Herald Oh

net as she wore, they are enviabl'

wife's Letters.
The Bar Association of Paris has
lately discussed and decided in the
affirmative the right Of a husband to
open his wife's letters. Whereupon
an interviewer called upon Dumas
6ls, a priest, the Rev. nj. de Pres
sense, a Protestant pastor, Nine.
Adam, and Nine. de Peyrebrune, a
novelist, for their opinion on such
an ungallant decision. Dumas said
that any man who doubted his wite's
fidelity, and didn't open her letters
to see whether his suspicious were
true, was an imbecile; the priest
said that the church gives the nus
band absolute right in the matter /;
NJ. de Presscnse thinks that the hus-
band should respect the wite's Sc
crets; Nine. Adam said that although
the lawyers had decided the question
in the Affirmative, every well bred
man would reply no, and those who
did not would be free to add to their
quality of master that OF black,
guard; Nine. de Peyrebrune replied
that while the lawyers were logically
right in their decision, their action
would not at all bother those women
who wish to receive correspondence
unbeknown to their husbands; It q

Chevelier Van Gousner, the engineer of the ST.
